Aligning Cutting Tool with Spindle
Centerline
For most operations, the cutting tool tip should be
aligned vertically with the spindle centerline, as
illustrated in Figure 56.

centerline (viewed from tailstock).
There are a number of ways to check and align
the cutting tool to the spindle centerline. If nec-
essary, you can raise the cutting tool by placing
steel shims underneath it. The shims should be
as long and as wide as the cutting tool to properly
support it.
Below are two common methods:
Rough Alignment: Move the tailstock center
•
over the cross slide and use a fine ruler to
measure the distance from the surface of the
cross slide to the tip of the center. Adjust the
cutting tool height so it is the same distance
above the cross slide as the tailstock center.
Precise Alignment: Align the tip of the cut-
•
ting tool with a tailstock center, as described
in the following procedure. For this to be
accurate, the tailstock must be aligned to
the spindle centerline first (refer to Aligning
Tailstock To Spindle Centerline on Page
36 for detailed instructions).
